TIKKUN HaBrit Secret From Eliyahu HaNavi

0:46There's a book attributed to Eliyahu HaNavi. It's called Tanna Devei Eliyahu. Rav Finkel, alev ha-shalom, translated a part of it. This is the Hebrew version, but he translated a part of it into English. He actually also translated this part that I'm about to read to you, so you can buy it. It's in Perek Tet. There are different versions, different nusachs of the Tanna D'vei Eliyahu and other ones, so it could be in Perek Yud (10) instead of Tesha (9). And he says the following: I take the testimony that witnesses are the heaven and the earth, meaning I swear, I swear to the heaven and the earth, Eliyahu HaNavi says.

2:11Whether it's a Jew or non-Jew, whether it's a man or a woman, whether it's a male servant or female servant, everything is based on their behavior and actions. Based on his actions, he can get to the level, or she can get to the level, of having Ruach HaKodesh. Meaning, Rabotai Yekarim, a woman can get Ruach HaKodesh even if she's not Jewish. A man can get Ruach HaKodesh even if he's not Jewish, needless to say, a Jew. Based on what? What if I put on tefillin? I put on 17 pairs of tefillin—it helps me, no. Keeping two Shabbats a week doesn't help you. Giving a lot of tzedakah doesn't help you. I'll help you, based on one's actions, meaning their behaviors and character traits. How humble they are, how generous they are, how not arrogant they are, and how they manage their anger.

3:35actions. That's what the entire Torah is based on - actions. We are a religion of action, unlike other religions that are religions of faith, fake and false faiths. "I believe." Why will you believe in what I believe? Everything is going to be okay because you're scared someone died for you? Where is the emes (truth) in that? You're scared that anyone can die for you and you can commit every crime under the sun? Where is that? Oh, it doesn't say, but it says it in a false testament. So, yeah, but... Rabbotai Yakirim, Eliyahu Hanavi, Eliyahu Hanavi is a Malach Hashem. Eliyahu Hanavi never died. Eliyahu Hanavi came to the world to give us this book. He had a student, one of the Tana'im, and they would learn every night together. And he gives us this testimony from Shamayim. He says, "I swear to you, no matter who you are, no matter where you came from, you can fix yourself, and you can even reach the level of Ruach HaKodesh. Now, don't start running around thinking that after six months of doing teshuva, you have Ruach HaKodesh. You might need a mental institution."

4:40But the point is that every single person, no matter where they came from and where they are today, can fix themselves and sanctify themselves to such a level that they can literally have a private relationship with HaKadosh Baruch Hu, to the point of Ruach HaKodesh. It means it doesn't matter what wrongs we've committed; it matters what we're doing about it now. Everybody can do teshuva; everybody can fix everything in their life. Can you fix your life? Start with whatever you have now. If you have the ability to keep Shabbat, keep Shabbat if you're a Jew. You have the ability to learn Torah. If you're a Jew, learn Torah. If you're not a Jew, learn Torah. Why? Because that mitzvah is for everybody. Obviously, a non-Jew should specifically learn Mussar and the Tanakh. A Jew has to learn the entire Torah, while a non-Jew focuses specifically on Mussar and Tanakh. That's it. They don't learn the rest of the mitzvot because it's not relevant to them. If you're a woman, focus on learning the mitzvot that pertain to you specifically. There's no need to embark on learning Gemara as some may suggest for women. For what purpose?

5:53What is a woman going to start learning Gemara for? You have to learn all the things that are relevant to you: Taharat HaMishpacha, modesty, Hilchot Shabbat, Hilchot Nidah, Hilchot of the Chagim. All things that are relevant to you. You're going to learn Gemara. Okay, Chazak u'Baruch, you learn the Gemara, but you still don't know the basics of Taharat HaMishpacha. So the point, Rabotai, is that every person can sanctify themselves and can fix their situation to such an extent that HaKadosh Baruch Hu can look at you and say, "He's holy, just like Me." "She's holy, just like Me." No matter where you were in your life or what damage you've done. But if we don't, the Chazon Ish says, woe. Woe to him and woe to his misfortune. Woe to her and woe to our misfortune. Why? She's not going to have any luck, not going to have any fortune. Unfortunately, no matter what she has physically, it looks like the poison of the celebrity world. From the outside, it looks like they have everything, but you start looking on the inside, and you're saying, Hashem, what a cursed life. What a cursed life. From the outside, it looks like they have everything—a new car every week, a new house, different places, all the pictures. They look good; they never have a bad hair day even. But then you see a suicide note right next to the body. Why? Because it's all fake. Don't fake. You shouldn't live a fake life. You can get to the highest level part a human being can get to. With that being said, take advantage of the opportunities given to you.

7:04Outside, it looks like they have everything—a new car every week, a new house in different places—all the pictures. They look good. They never have a bad hair day even. But then you see a suicide note right next to the body. Why? Because it's all fake. Don't fake. You shouldn't live a fake life. You can get to the highest level a human being can achieve. With that being said, take advantage of the opportunity to better yourself and do teshuva in this auspicious time. The time that we read Sefer Shemot is an auspicious time to do teshuva for this issue. It's an auspicious time to give tzedakah for this issue. It's an auspicious time to do teshuva in general.
